Has anybody had surgery while on actemra?

I just found out on thursday at my ent appointment i keep getting infections because i need my tonsils out. The ent won't even consider it until i get the okay from my rheumatologist. Does anybody know if i will have to stop my actemra for a few months to have it? I got no clue

Hello Anglia, I had been having my teeth worked on and had to stop the Actemra till I healed pretty good. So they don't want you to even have a flu shot our anything without asking the doctor. I sure hope you are doing alright.
